This is a dumb question. Suh has the contract. Someone thinks he is worth it, or they wouldn't pay. Question unecesary.

Given he is a beast AND demands double teams, he should earn 2X of the average DT.

He has the raw, physical talent to justify that, but NO if he can not shutdown his Personal Foul problems and play smarter.

by the very definition of worth. an athlete is "Worth" what someone is willing to pay. If Miami is willing to pay 118 Million over 6 years for Suh than by definition he is worth it. You may not like it, but he is technically worth it.

QB and DT are the most valuable positions in the NFL - he's among the best.

Why shouldn't he be? Of all the Pro linemen I've seen last year, Mr. Suh has them all been in every category of defensive skills, strength and endurance.

You have to put with his antics sometimes but I feel he is one of the very best in the league.

No NFL player is "worth" this kind of money, especially 60 M guaranteed...

no one is. He just got some of his what would have been good teammates put on the chopping block. Glad to see he getting money but you can tell Superbowl is not on his mind.

Not something anyone should make. People can't feed their families and this guy makes this? We have lost focus on life.

Suh is a beast but getting two good tackles for less money could pay off and mitigate risks of injury etc. Miami needs a QB.

Elite pro athletes are making obscene amounts of money. No one is worth that salary.

It has to fair across the board, from Fordham to Alabama. one monthly stipend for everyone, not just scholarship players. There has to be a limit on how many players all schools should abide by. Determine the national budget and every school must contribute.

Compensation has always been tied to market value. These athletes are worth far more than they're being compensated, and that's been the case for over a century. Hence, they've been ripped off. I support salary, salary cap, and education on how to invest it in 401k style accounts.

Compensation changes the entire dynamic of college athletics, and not in a positive way.

They should be students and NOT professional athletes. If they want to get paid they can go pro. Personally, I believe they should cancel all sports in public schools and colleges though I love our Huskers.

Put myself through school in the 70's. They are getting for exchange of their athletic prowess what I had to work and save for. The two summers after high school I drove alfalfa trucks 12 hours a day 7 days a week. EARN IT!

They already live better than most students. Free room and board, tutors, clothing, and actual education cost.

They are compensated with room and board plus an education. The perks they get as athletes now are unbelievable!!!
